Spring 2006 Bill Blass by Michael Vollbracht Runway Gold & Pale Lavender Halter Dress Blacks we were able to find

we were able to find a reference photo of a similar top which was worn with pants on the runway that season and a shot of Emmy Rossum who wore the twin of the jacket in 2012 for an event

The packets and cuffs have a contrasting black silk detailing

tiny little beads to add dimension and gold tube beads that form little leafs around the flowers

The skirt is a masterpieces - it is deliberately and meticulously shaped and draped with wide pleats of fabric

Spring 2006 Bill Blass by Michael Vollbracht Runway Gold & Pale Lavender Halter Dress Blacks we were able to findAfter the death of Bill Blass in 2003 the house originally hired successor Lars Nilsson and then abruptly let him go to replace him with Michael Vollbracht.
